6 Claims. 1
This invention relates to cam mechanisms and particularly to that type of cam mechanism which has an output related to each of two variable inputs. Such mechanisms are known generally as three-dimensional cams.
In constructing machines to perform mechanical calculations it often is necessary to determine a factor or produce a motion of a member in accordance with the function of two variables. The relation between the factor or the resultant motion and the variables is usually expressed raphically on charts by a family of variably spaced curves in which the ordinates of each curve are the values of the factors and the abscissae are the values of one variable for a specific value of the second variable. The various spaces between the curves in the family of curves represent the effect of equal increments in the value of the second variable.
Heretofore such factors have been determined by the so-called three-dimensional cams, that is, solids have been shaped such that their lateral cross-sections have been of such form that the distances from the rotating axis or the solid to points on the surface of the lateral cross-sections for the various rotational positions of the solid, refine the relations between the factor and one variable for a definite value of the second variable. The said relations for Various values of the second variable are obtained by shaping the consecutive lateral cross-sections of the solid along its rotational axis in accordance with the relation of the factor and the one variable for the consecutive values of the second variable.
The solid three-dimensional cam of the prior art is expensiv to make because of the long and accurate mechining and finishing required, and the cam and its associated follower mechanism require considerable space, which is so often at a premium in calculati g and computing instruments.
The principal object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages inherent in the solid three-dimensional cam by providing a cam mechanism having an output variably responsive to each of two variable inputs and that is flat, occupies a relatively small space and requires a relatively short time to machine and assemble.
Other objects will be apparent from a consideration of the specification and the drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a chart in the form of a family of translated curves showing the relation between a factor and its two determining variables;
Fig. 2 is a chart similar to that of Fig. 1, ex-
cept that the curves in the family of curves are angularly displaced from each other in accordance with the second variable; and
Fig. 3 is a plan view of two embodiments of the invention, the left half showing an arrangement in which the cam member is moved vertically in accordance with the second variable and the right half of the figure showing an arrangement in which the cam member is rotated in accordance with the second variable.
Referring to Fig. 1, lines I, 2, 3, 4 and 5 represent curves defining the relation between the time of flight (25) of a projectile and the horizontal range (RH) of a target for values of height (H) of the target HI, H2, H3, H4 and H5, respectively.
Referring to Fig. 2, lines 6, l, 8, 9 and I0 represent curves defining the relation between the super elevation of a gun above the line of sight (e) and the horizontal range (RH) of a, target for values of height (H) of the target of HI, H2, H3, H4 and H5 respectively.
Referring to Fig. 3, the mechanisms selected to show two embodiments of the invention are grouped into a single mechanism to illustrate how two units may be combined to produce two movements corresponding to two families of curves when the two families of curves are based on the same two variables. It is of course obvious that each unit may be used separately, if desired.
In Fig. 3, a cam plate II is constrained by guides I2 and E3 to move vertically. Two grooves 14 and I5, the surfaces of which form cam surfaces, are cut in plate II. Just below the plate II is positioned a first movable input slide I6 which receives its motion by a threaded portion of shaft ll engaging threads in a lateral hole at the upper end of slide I6 and by threaded shaft I8, geared to shaft I! by shaft I9, engaging a threaded lateral hole in the lower end of slide I 6. It is of course obvious that slide I 6 could be moved by shaft I? alone if properly guided and the arrangement shown including shaft I8 merely assures positive translational movements of slide it for movements of shaft I7.
Directly above plate II is positioned output slide 26 which is constrained to move vertically by suitable guides (not shown). The vertical movement of output slide 20 is accomplished by connecting slide 20, plate I I and slide I6 together by a pin 2| which passes through slot 20a in slide 211, groove I4 in plate II and slot 22 in slide I6 with a snug, sliding fit.
The second variable is set into the cam by slide 3 23 which is moved horizontally by threaded shaft 24 engaging threads in a lateral hole in the lower end of slide 23. At the upper end of slide 23 is mounted a pin 25 which engages the surfaces of cam groove l5.
It will therefore be seen that the vertical movement of slide 20 is dependent upon the horizontal position of slide l6 and the vertical posi tion of plate II, as positioned by pin 25 moving in groove IS.
The relative vertical position of slide 20 is made visually available by gearing shaft 26 to rack 21 of slide 20 and gearing shaft 26 to a conventional graduated dial 28.
The set in values of slide and slide 23 are made visually available by conventional graduated dials 29 and 30, geared respectively to shafts l1 and 24, Shafts l1 and 24 are turned by handles 3| and 32, respectively.
A second form of a cam mechanism of this invention is shown in the right half of Fig. 3, which is similar to the cam mechanism described except that plate 33 which corresponds to plate H is angularly moved about pivot pin 31 by pin 34 in slide 35 engaging the surfaces of cam groove 36, cut in plate 33. The pivot pin 31 is mounted on the frame of the unit (not shown). Shaft l1 and shaft 38 geared to shaft H by shaft 33 move slide 4|] in a manner similar to that of slide i6. Output slide 4| which corresponds to slide 20 receives a vertical movement in suitable slides (not shown) by its being connected to plate 33 and slide 40 by pin 42, which moves in slot 43 of slide 4|, groove 44 in plate 33 and slot 45 of slide 40.
The vertical movement of slide 4| is made visually available by gearing shaft 46 to rack 41 on slide 4| and gearing it also to a conventional graduated dial 48.
As an example of applying the embodiments of the invention to the families of curves in Figs. 1 and 2, crank 3|, shafts H, |9, H3, 39 and 38, slides I6 and 4%], and dial 29, are moved in accordance with variable RH; handle 32, shaft 24, slides 23 and 35, and dial 30, are moved in accordance with the variable H; and slides 29 and 4| are moved in accordance with the values of (f) and (6) respectively.
The output values represented by rotation of shafts 26 and 45 may be mechanically introduced as input factors of associated mechanisms instead of or in addition to being indicated by the dials 28 and 48.
It is obvious that various changes may be made by those skilled in the art in the details of the embodiment of the invention disclosed in the drawings and described above within the principle and scope of the invention as expressed in the appended claims,
